ContainerAwareDetector doesn't support non-MSOffice files which use the same
magic
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-486
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-486
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Antoni Mylka
There are many applications which use the MSOffice magic number. I know of
Corel Presentations X3, Corel Quattro Pro 7 and X3 and Microsoft Works Word
Processor. They have their own mime types.
They aren't properly supported by POI though which means that if the
ContentAwareDetector finds such a file, it will resort to the
POIFSContainerDetector and return the basic application/x-tika-msoffice file
type because POI won't be able to say anything more specific. This will happen
even in situations when the fallback detector might come up with a better
answer.
That's why IMHO the fallback detector should be used if the
POIFSContainerDetector returns x-tika-msoffice. If the fallback detector comes
up with a more specific type - the more specific one should be used.
